Are we all millenials here or is that a misperception?

@thordis

Seriously, no worries! (Oh god, I've become one of those assholes on Mastodon who does drive-by scolding! )

Really, I just wanted to see how many of my "between Boomer and Gen-X" cohort would identify with that description.

@futurebird

Not even sure about in which decade what generation was born, what makes me a late stage boomer ..

@thordis

@thordis Hope you reach very different bubbles!

@thordis I'm in that weird Gen Jones group, not really Boomers, closer to Gen X, so that's what I chose.

@thordis 2004 is my birth year

@karhutar @thordis It's weird I get just lumped into this big GenX thing too. GenX includes like 15 years of births. I'm low-mid 70's and I didn't exactly hang out a bunch with the late 60's kids. Not that I didn't really want to, but they wouldn't. So we don't actually share a lot in common. I like Def Leopard and Foreigner OK but I'm actually more into Slayer. They witnessed and remember more of Carter and Reagan than I did and do. Actually experienced the 80's while I'm more 90's.

@thordis xennials (formerly known as Gen Y) are missing (again).... It's such a molehill to die on and yet here I am ><
It wouldn't surprise me if genY was proportionally the most represented on fedi, it's just that we're a micro generation....

@thordis Define "here". The Fediverse in general? Your server?

@thordis oh, was this only supposed to be for forkiverse?

@xerge @thordis @GinevraCat I thought Gen Z was a much bigger group on here.

I think we are just the loudest.

@thordis Sorry, I have no idea what these generations are. They have gone in the same box as Wolf Moons and Personality Types!

I as born in the late sixties, whatever that corresponds to.

@nartagnan @thordis no, you're right. Gen Y was distinct from millenials until approximately the early 2000s. Now also known as xennial.

@thordis I'm a #Boomer, born in 1957.

@thordis I'm GEN X.

@thordis I'm on the Gen X / Millennial cusp. I marked myself as X, but you could count it as a half point in each.

@hajni @thordis It's true.. We're rascals.

@thordis I can't believe I'm part of a trend of young people (well, relatively)

@thordis @gwendolenau Gen

@thordis i land in that weird trough in between gen x and millenial so im in a different category depending on whos asking. whats your cutoff year for millenials?

@NicksWorld @AngelaPreston @thordis Hmm, my kids were born in 1999. I always think of them as GenZ.
